Meet a beautifully designed Craftsman-style home offering around 2,830 sq ft of cozy, purposeful living. With 3 bedrooms (expandable to 5), between 2.5 and 4.5 bathrooms, and 1–2 stories including an optional in-law apartment, this plan blends present comfort with tomorrow’s flexibility.
Front Porch & Curb Appeal
A sweeping covered front porch (roughly 22 × 10 ft) welcomes visitors with classic barndominium vibes—think morning chats, front-porch lounging, and style that’s both timeless and relaxed.
Open Foyer & Heartfelt Flow
Step inside through a compact yet inviting foyer (about 7 × 10 ft), with a coat closet to keep things tidy. Your gaze is drawn straight into the bright great room—an immediate sense of space and connection.
Dining & Outdoor Living That Works
On your right sits a lovely dining area (19 × 10 ft) flooded with natural light—perfect for family dinners or holiday feasts. Glass doors lead straight onto a rear covered porch (around 20 × 14 ft), which connects to two spacious decks—one 23 × 12 ft and the other 31 × 14 ft—ideal for grilling, lounging, or keeping watch over backyard antics.
Owner’s Retreat & Smart Laundry Setup
The primary suite sits privately to the left, with room enough for nooks or thoughtful furniture grouping. A soothing bathroom includes a freestanding tub, double vanity, separate “his” and “hers” walk-in closets, and laundry just steps away—making comfort and morning routines truly connected.
Kitchen that Keeps Up with Life
Easy-access utility space leads to a courtyard-entry garage, passing by an 8 × 8 pantry and laundry zone with prioritized function. The kitchen layout is smart, centered on a U-shaped design with a generous island—just right for breakfast bar chats and meal prep energy.
Bonus & Future Apartment
Upstairs, find a cozy 14 × 9.5 ft unfinished bonus room and adjacent storage area—prime for a custom retreat. And that in-law apartment? It adds about 694 sq ft of independent living, complete with its own front and back porches for comfort and guest privacy.

Finishing the in-law apartment and bonus areas would add value—and cost—reflecting your customized needs. (Land/site work not included.)
